Botox had gone and sat down on one of the benches at the edge of the courtyard, to watch the watermelon rugby while she ate her sausage. Timott and Bricks followed her over.
'Hey,' said Bricks, holding a sausage in one hand and a pack of cards in the other, 'can I swap these for somthin' better?'
'Operation Embryo?' said Botox.
'Yeah, how'd ya know?'
'What's this?' said Timott. 'Operation what?'
'Shut up, Timott,' said Bricks. Turning back to Botox, he asked, 'You doin' it too?'
'Um, nah,' said Botox. 'The Bach Pad? Mmm... not exactly my kinda scene. But when oh w's in first year a lot've the guys were trying get membership.'
'Okay, cool,' said Bricks. 'So can I swap these for something better?'
'Mmmm... how about one've these?' she said indicating the button-badges pinned to the left strap of her backpack
'Hmmm...' said Timott, 'orright.'
Botox unpinned one and gave it to Timott. It was black, with a pattern of blue bubbles on it.
'How about that one?' said Botox.
'Yeah, that one's good,' said Timott, handing her the cards.
'Cheers,' said Botox, putting the cards in her pocket, as a slippery watermelon landed on the bench next to her.
